Overwhelmed

There has been a huge change of plans! We now have an official induction date set for December 4th... I know, it's only two days earlier than the original due date, but there's something about being told you will have this baby on this day that is freaking me out, just a bit (not to mention it totally goes against the birth plan Bill and I had envisioned for our experience of bringing Emma into the world) So, because chronic hypertension and pregnancy don't mix, I am pretty much ordered to bed rest. I think I just might go crazy! I know that my midwife has my family's well-being at the forefront of her purpose for my care so I am VERY grateful for that. Bill has totally taken charge of making me obey doctors orders! I have to say I have one Amazing husband who not only helped my mom with Thanksgiving dinner, but did all dishes by himself (because he wouldn't let anyone help), is putting up Christmas lights by himself, and is going to get a Christmas tree by himself, just to ensure that I will stay put this last week of pregnancy... I am so Blessed to have such a special man for my husband! I Love you Bill! We are so excited to FINALLY have Emma Jean join us, she's the light at the end of the tunnel!
